IndyCar driver Graham Rahal claimed that his Graham Rahal Performance building in Zionsville was shot at, and police ruled it as criminal mischief.
“To the GREY NISSAN ROGUE that decided to shoot at our building [Sunday] night, we will find you, and our cameras are actively watching your moves.” Rahal’s Instagram story said.
The story showed a photo of glass pierced with an alleged bullet with the text over the photo.
Zionsville police said it investigated Sunday night a piece of tempered glass being destroyed outside of the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing building. The probe concluded with police saying a BB gun was used to destroy the glass at an adjacent building.
Police said it did not find firearm rounds, only BBs.
“I believe it was at the Ducati Place right next to the coffeeshop, so not actually the RLL headquarters,” Zionsville public information officer Marius Klykken said.
Rahal did not have further comment, a spokesperson for RLL said.
Rahal is one of three full-time drivers for RLL.
The racing organization announced Monday morning that its third driver for the 2026 IndyCar season would be Mick Schumacher, the 26-year-old son of seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher.
Schumacher ran a test with RLL on the IMS road course in October before concluding his World Endurance Championship season. He said at the time that it was a “great option” to join IndyCar. The well-traveled driver has earned points in Formula 1, won F3 and F2 and competed in the World Endurance Championship for Alpine.
“Having both an F1 and an endurance background, and having competed in various racing series over the years, I have insights and knowledge that I am sure will contribute to a great partnership,” Schumacher said Monday. “RLL prepared me extremely well during testing already, and I am sure that we can build a lot together.
“I was also immediately excited about the car and the American way of motorsport which comes across as being more about pure and direct racing, and it is precisely this aspect that I am very much looking forward to. And of course, I am curious about new experiences and always interested in broadening my horizons. For me, a new journey is beginning here, and I am excited for the season to start.”
His debut on the streets of St. Pete will be March 1, and he will run ovals for the first time in his career, including the Indy 500 on May 24. Schumacher will drive the No. 47 car to pay homage to his father.
Schumacher joins Rahal and 2025 rookie of the year Louis Foster. Thus, the future of Devlin DeFrancesco is in doubt as the 25-year-old Canadian will not return after finishing 26th in the full-time field of 27 drivers despite the announcement of a multi-year deal in December.
